The preliminary agreement faced criticism even before it was signed Wednesday evening, with a growing number of Republicans and conservative figures arguing it was too weak on Iran.

Vance pushed back on a reporter saying that Netanyahu was “fuming” over the MOU, and he warned Israeli officials critical of Trump’s deal with Iran from personally attacking the president and isolating Israel’s best friend in the world. 

Israeli officials across the political spectrum have come out against the MOU, with Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir saying that “Trump’s agreement does not bind us” and urging for stronger attacks against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. A ceasefire in Lebanon is the first pillar of the MOU.
